" i heard the door close gently. i looked around, and there stood mr. bixby, smiling a bland, sweet smile. then the audience on the hurricane-deck sent up a thundergust of humiliating laughter. i saw it all now, and felt meaner than the meanest man in human history. i laid in the lead, set the boat in her marks, came ahead on the engines, and said, "it was a fine trick to play on an orphan, it? i suppose i'll never hear the last of how i was stupid enough to heave the lead at the head of 66." "well, no, you won't, maybe. in fact i hope you won't; for i want you to learn something by that experience. didn't you know there was no bottom in that crossing?

Cub Pilot on the Mississippi, a nonfiction story, is an interesting text with very different but similar characters. Mark Twain is an apprentice cub pilot working on a steamboat. Brown is a pro pilot also working on the same boat. The two characters have a conflict arising from the beginning of the story. As the story flows, the tension develops. This tension raises due to the differences between the two characters. Twain and Brown have some differences and similarities in regards to their position. Twain is an apprentice, a cub pilot, and Brown is the boss, the pilot. Twain is under Brown to learn few skills and Brown usually abuses the power; orders Twain around. Persistently, Twain is under stress because Brown keeps irritating him. Although Twain wanted to kill Brown, he had to hold back because he is a co-pilot. The tension between the two characters is caused because of the difference of position. Nonetheless, Brown and Twain are both passionate in their job. That is why neither of them wanted to leave the ship. The different position of the two characters is reflected throughout the story.
